HC Deb 08 May 1896 vol 40 c882
SIR WALTER FOSTER

I beg to ask Mr. Attorney General, (1) whether he is aware that the County Council for the county of Salop are reported to have held that applications from parish councils for authority to hire land compulsorily should only be made through the district council; and, (2) whether this is a correct interpretation of the provisions of the Local Government Act, 1894?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir RICHARD WEBSTER,) Isle of Wight

I am not a warn that the County Council for Salop are reported to have held the view indicated in the first paragraph of the question; such a view would not be in accordance with the Local Government Act, 1894.
